Man shot at trying to retrieve stolen Mongoose bicycle in Flint

FLINT, MI -- A man's stolen bicycle could have cost him much more as the alleged thief fired shots as the man gave chase, according to a Flint police report.

The 40-year-old man said he was inside a store in the 2000 block of Lewis Street on Tuesday, June 10, around 10 p.m. when a male suspect grabbed his black Mongoose bike and fled southbound, followed by three other subjects.

According to the report, the victim said he gave chase on foot, when the suspect allegedly pulled out a handgun firing one shot. The suspect then fled eastbound, firing another shot at the victim.

Police said the victim was not hit and later went to a friend's home to make the report. The victim told police the store has video cameras that may have surveillance footage of the suspects.
